Why is it that we remember certain parts to dreams at random times of the day?

Why is it that we remember certain parts to dreams at random times of the day?
Your unconcious is reminding you that it's warning you about something that you've thought of doing before.
Reply:Cause we see things that trigger the memory
Reply:Could be that your entire life is a dream...


Ever had a dream that you swear was real?


While in that dream you said "This must be a dream!"


Then you woke up....


What does that mean when you say it in real life?

Reply:when you dream, you dream of things that you have seen or thought of the day before but the reason you remember them randomly is because things you see remind you of them.
Reply:For me that happens right after I've done or seen something I've seen in one of my dreams.
Reply:I usually remember my dreams as soon as I wake up. I can even talk about them to other people, but if I dont write them down they are lost. This is strange to me. But every once in a while, something will trigger the memory and parts of it will come back. I also know that sometimes I had several different dreams in the same night because I remember parts of them all, and they are not related at all. This tells me it all happened hours apart.
Reply:There is obvious selection pressure against remembering your dreams.
Reply:Im pritty sure that it's because thats the certain part of dream that mainly cought your attention. Maby thats a certain type of feeling your meaning to express, or something that you would desire to have, or want. Idk, maby.... .. .... just that urge in life that your wanting. =)
